I'm not totally sure what you're tying to make the gymnast out of, but try googling handstand or gymnast or both and clicking on images. You could try doing a frozen buttercream transfer.

I am looking to draw a girl doing a handstand with her feet in the air. The trick is..... I need to put a green gymnast suit on her! I need some help on how to make people bodies! LOL

Thanks!

Here is an image of a gymnast, if you want to do a FBCT.

Thanks for the pic's everyone. I saved them all. Two of my grand-daughters are in gymnastics and I'm sure I'll need them one day.

I would use the frozen buttercream transfer method on this site. I've made many and they turn out really nice.

As for shrinking it to fit, I only know how to do it on my printer, I'm afraid. And usually my daughter has to help me with that. icon_sad.gif Maybe someone else can help???

Good luck!
